FOOLED BY FISHERMEN.

Canada's Poor Success in Protecting the
Herring Pond-Yankees Playing the
Cruisers.
HALIFAX, n. s, July 29.-Reports of
wholesale poaching by Americans come
from Prince Edwards ; Island. These re
ports are published in the news columns
Of the Dominion government organs in
the island, and in the same issues these
papers editorially declare that the coast
Il thoroughly protected. Tie
Examiner publishes letter
from North Lake which declares
that 100 sail of American vessels have
been fishing inside the limits at that
place. The correspondent says: AN
American schooner hove her seine with
IN two miles of the shore and succeeded
in taking twelve barrels. A number of
shore fishermen rOWed alongside and
took the vessels name. No sooner We're
the stolen fish on deck than the cruiser
Critic could just be distinguished in the
distance. The American, however, had
been on the watch, for she immedia-
tely set sail ana ran before the wind un-
til satisfied that the cutter was not in
pursuit. -Four cruisers among 240 Ameri-
can seiners are Il ridiculous farce. The
cutter drives an American outside the
around the corner the American is in
prohibited waters again" An amusing
incident occurred there a day or two ago.
Six Americans were anchored in shore
Capt Lorway caught sight of them, and
imagining he would catch them in the
act of obtaining supplies from Myrick's,
he was rOWed ashore with the utmost
dispatch. While skipper Lorway was
ashore on a fools errand the American
seiner, ;. Prior, got under way, hove 10
two miles off shore, and threw her
seine around school of mack
erel. This little trick was OBJ
served from the deck Of the cruiser
Triumph, which gave chase. Not hav-
ing time to get her seine and fish aboard.
the Prior set sail, towed them to seaand
escaped from the cutter in the darkness.
Commander Lorwav has since made ev-
cry effort TO discover her whereabouts
and to seize the vessel, but without sue
cess.
\ dispatch from Shelburne states that
the schooner Annie W. Hodgson has
sailed for sea, having been released by
the collector of customs. The fine as
sessed against her was deposited bv Con-
sui General Phelan with the custom

The Sensational Charge Made by Iusur-
ance Men-Big Fires Due to Anarchism.
New YORK. July 2S.-The Tribune Of
to-day says that at the office of firm
of well-knOWu insurance brokers it is
said that the past six months had been
the most disastrous in the fire record OF
any Ike period save, OF course, in that
embracing the Chicago and Boston fires.
80 far as had been learned, only two COM
panleS had made money in that six
months. The matter has been discussed
IL every Office and IL every association
of underwriters. There is one striking
phase of this matter which has come to
the fore prominently in few DAYS, and
that Is the relation of Herr Most and
his SympathiZers 10 manv of those
fires. As indicative of the extent to
which Insurance companies are being
reused 10 this question, 1t is only nee
esSary to call attention to a special
meeting of the New York Board of
Underwriters held yesterday TO discuss
this very subject ana adopt ways and
means to meet the emergency. Herr
Most's book bearing on the subject of
dynamite and phosphorus as incendlary
agents was considered at length espe-
Clally his claim that many recent fires
were due TO their use. Copies of news
papers, the book itself and all available
information upon the point We're a week
he.Ore handed over to the committee on
police and the origin Of fires with in
stIucti MS to make a thorough inyestiga-
ton OF the matter and report upon some
plan which would check, if possi
ble, the great increase in the
number of fires which were undoubted-
Iy Inceudiary. On this point a member
of the board said yesterday: John
Most has become a factor in the subject
of fire insurance. Our civilization has
come to a pretty pass when such a red
m)uthed ranting Anarchists Ut
terances have to be considered
by fire insurance companies and means
devised 10 abate their banefu effects.
There Is some means of reaching this
man and what the law can do will soon
be tried. He openly boasts in his book
that recent fires are some of them at
least due TO the Anarchists. Whether
true or not his utterances have their
etfect.n

LONDON, July 27.-The debate on the
land bill was resumed in the House Of
Commons to-day. NJ O'DOughertv.
Home Ruler, member for North Done
gal. moved on behalf of Mr.. Parnell, to
limit to three years the clause providing
for written notices OF evictiOns instead Of
the present method, on the ground that
the provisions of the clause would only
be required until a land purchase bill
was passed. Mr.. BaIfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, speaking for
the government, declined to accept
the proposed modification John Dill
lon said that as the bill was only a tenn
poTary measure, a clause depriving ten
ants Of the small fragments ofrights re-
served to them under the act of 1860
ought not to be permanent.
He asked whether the government
would accept an amendment securing to
the tenant undisturbed possession be-
tween the service Of the notice Of
eviction and the time ofthe redemption.
Mr.. BalfOur said the government would
consider favOrably any amendment that
would secure the tenant a slight
delay between the service of notice Of
eviction and the execution of it. for the
purpose Of giving him time to turn
round and prevent the appearance Of
harshneSS on the part Of the landlord.

Consul George telegraphed To Consul
General Phelan, Yesterday, that the col
lector at Souris, 2. +. l., had reufsed to
allow the fourteen men captured in the
seine boats on Sunday to 90 home in q
fishing vessel. These men, when taken,
had only shirts and trousers on, and the
Charlotte Town consul thought this was
hard treatment and telegraphed here
for instructions. The reply of Mr..
Phelan was promptly sent, and about its
meaning there can be no mistake. 1t
was to send the men home by the first
vessel sailing, be she fishing
schooner or not. The United States
man-of-war Richmond, with Admiral
Luce on board, and the cruiser Yantic,
ard here and are placed under the con-
suPs orders. The consul-general in-
structed Consul George that if the
slightest resistance was offered to let
him know Immediately and he would
take charge Of the matter.

Dominion over the startling revelations
made within the past few days, as TO the
traffic in young girls of from y to IA
wears Old, in which a number of prOml-
nent citizens as well as several pollti-
clans are implicated, promises to develop
into a scandal even greater than that eX-
posed recently in London.
One scandal following another
so closely in the metropolitan city has IN
censed the citizens generally. Last
night a meeting was held under the
auspices Of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty with view to devislng
some means by which the great stain on
the capitals good name might be re-
moved Special legislation, it was de-
cided, would be necessary to attain that
end, and the matter must therefore be-
come the subject of special legislation at
the next session of Parliament before
anv law can be enacted to reach the
culprits. 1t is possible, owing to the fact
that the chief OF police has evidence in his
possession which would criminate sever
al prominent politicians if brought into
court, that such a measure, If introduced
in Parliament, wOuld be defeated, guilty
members OF the Senate and House OF
